Absolutely, I’m in!
Yay great turnout, I’ll give I’ll look to set this up tomorrow night so there is still time if anyone else wants to join.
@JayKyburz I emailed you a couple of questions re setting up the tournament.
As I want to play I’m going to find an independent person to set the games up 
Proposed Game settings -
Ideally the games will be quick and fun so I propose the following settings
Small Galaxy
66% win condition
Medium starting distance
Plentiful resources
6h jump, 24h wait (with the assumption that the game will go much quicker than this but just as a safety in case shit happens)
research all standard
cheap gates
Great params - smart idea on the 24 hour wait just in case - we’ll have players in varying time zones and RL commitments and s-l-e-e-p! 
I’ve recently played some mano-mano duels with someone in a time zone 9 hours away and it has worked GREAT as we are able to finish in a few days … just goes BOOM-BOOM-BOOM when we are both online and as long as both just submit when done, the “turn updated” Emails let you know when they are ready and vice-versa.
EDITED: Jay just added Mirrored Maps - how AWESOME is that - great suggestion LDG!
Looks like you’ll be able to get 16 players which is perfect for elimination - heck, maybe a double-elimination tournament? I have a family ski vacation this weekend, so hoping it will take until after then to get organized.
P.S. I’d love to play as Green!

Ok everyone we will look to start this on Sunday then. Jay is very kindly going to set up the maps for us.
Random.org has given me the following pairings.
@markwkidd V @Golden_Ace
@MattS V @doodydota
@Rosslessness V LDG
@MajorAwesome V @russbirchall
@leonardebaker V @Dysp
HULK V @sekoms
There is still time to join before Sunday although we will need to take players in pairs.
Format is winner stays on, the next tier will also be random.org’ed.
I’d be game for this however only for turn-based play. I have a hard time committing to real-time games these days.
It is turn based.

I wonder whether these games’ hyperlinks might be posted for spectators ?
Or could this be bad, and might allow outside players to unfairly influence the decisions of the gladiators ?
Spectators can’t actually see anything useful unfortunately. I wish we had the replay system, then you could watch the game play back over time after the event.
I’ve decided I would like to play. To hell with it, Blight of the Immortals can just run even later.
Do we have 16 yet?

Actually, if the URL’s of the game are shared (and it’s not a Dark Galaxy), you can see the star layout … which all players can see anyway. I assumed that they were just going to be posted here anyway for all to see.
Bonus points Jay if you can tweak the code so that people can see the Stats of the players - that’s public info so no reason not to have that viewable. I’ve tried clicking on a player icon in previous games and it just tells me the game is full.
Glad to have you join the duel … LDG deserves an “Organizer” badge for setting this up! 
LDG, can you jump into this game and see if the settings are as you want them.
Speaking of statistics, I have been working on a 3rd party tool to gather and display statistics for NP2. It’s not finished or polished yet, but it is functional to be used with the dual matches (and with any other NP2 games).
If at least one player of each dual match will register to the tool and share the stats here it would be easy to track the progress. I will of course be updating the stats for my dual game and posting the link for it as soon as the game starts. If anyone else wants to use it to post the progress, please try it out
at: http://np2stats.dysp.info
Code to register: welcometonp2stats
Example stats of my test game: NP2 stats
Example of team stats: NP2 stats
If you have any further questions / ideas / feedback about the tool itself please PM me or open a new thread here in the forums. Let’s keep this one about the dual matches.

I can’t see what you have set for warpgates and tech for some reason but as far as the layout is yes that’s prefect. 
We have 14 at the moment, which would leave an odd number in the next tier. Ideally we can get another pair by Sunday if not then the loosing player from the longest running game, the person who took the most ticks to lose, will also go through to the next tier.
I’d like to join if there is time/space for me.
